A provider that connects Vermont-area farmers to Boston-area residents recently set up a weekly food pick-up site in Marblehead and is inviting local families to learn more about its services.

The organic-food provider, Farmers to You, based in Calais, Vt., which delivers fresh food from Vermont’s farmlands to urban families, will now hold pick-up hours on Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. in the parking log of Marblehead’s Devereux School.

The Devereux School’s Elizabeth Laub said hosting Farmers to You is a “win-win” opportunity.

“We are happy to help bring this quality of food to the families at our school and the greater Marblehead community while supporting New England farmers and food producers,” Laub said.

The food-delivery program is a subscription service in which people create an account on farmerstoyou.com, from which they then order food items and select a delivery location, such as the newly established Marblehead one.

Items selected, which must total $40, will be delivered each week unless an account’s holder changes the items.

Simeon Chapin, a representative from Farmers to You, said the organization attempts to reconnect consumers with Vermont’s farmers who had historically fed New England’s urban communities. He noted the organization partners with over 50 families who run their Vermont farms, producing high-quality food that is given careful attention and grown in nutrient-rich soils.

“We are bringing transparency to the food people eat, so they know what they're putting into their bodies,” Chapin said.

As of right now, about 35 Marblehead families receive food from Farmers to You, noted Chapin, who hoped more would join.

The farmers that partner with the organization create a “cornucopia of food,” from seasonal vegetables, various fruits and dairy products to baked goods and meats.

Resident Holly Crosby is credited with establishing the Marblehead pick-up site after she began subscribing to the food program in May, initially picking up her delivery in Beverly. Seeing value in it, she set about to establish a pick-up here, approaching the school’s leadership.

“I knew it would be good,” said Crosby, whose preschool-aged daughter just wrapped up her first year at Devereux. “One of the many reasons we love Devereux is their focus on nutrition, sustainability and the environment.”

Jennifer LoGiudice and Susan Bergeron of Eat Well, Be Well, a Marblehead-and-Swampscott-based organization that provides healthy cooking classes, home chef service and catering, among other services, have offered to manage the host site.

LoGiudice and Bergeron will be a familiar face when local families pick their weekly items up and offer counsel to help them with healthy meal planning and meals, according to Crosby.
